Default best finisher at the club?

ronnie is the obvious choice but what about nani? absolutely superb striker of the ball. wish anderson would take some lessons off him, tbh.

as giggs steps down the goal threat we'll have from both wings with ronnie and nani is pretty impressive.

Honestly, I don't think you can look past Ronaldo. 25 goals says it all. Just phenomenal. And he's capable of scoring in so many different ways.

Statto attack follows. Look away now.

Ronaldo in the League - 110 shots, 62 on target, 25 goals
Nani - 50 shots, 20 on target, 3 goals

Looking at nani's goal yesterday, I remembered a bellion's goal against spurs in similar circumstances.

I am starting to think anderson can't play as a playmaker at all. he has brilliant vision, control, passing ability when he is anything more than 50 yards from goal. as soon as he gets near to penalty area, dunno what happens. he loses all his confidence, calmness and justs tries to @#%&! the ball.

He will score a few next season and then from 09/10 he will be a 10-a-season man.

Anderson just needs a goon. You can tell he's desperate to burst the net and get it over with when all he needs to do is show a bit of composure.

The best finisher is prob Ronnie, decent one on one finisher too.

Nani's not really what you would call a finisher. Great striker of a football though,.

Yep. If memory serves, he lead the league in total shots last season as well.

Anderson just needs a goal, maybe one of his arse or something.

Ronaldo is the best striker at United.

We need another two footed wide man more than an out and out centre forward imo.

Of course, we may already have that market cornered

Yep, Adebayor's next with 86 shots, 40 on target, 19 goals (4.5 shots / goal)
and then Torres with 83 shots, 40 on target, 20 goals (4.2)

For comparison
Ronaldo - 110 shots, 62 on target, 25 goals (4.4)
Tevez - 71 shots, 39 on target, 11 goals (6.5)
Rooney - 65 shots, 36 on target, 8 goals (8.1)
Nani - 50 shots, 20 on target, 3 goals (16.7)
